Doing perhaps 60% highway, 40% city, I'm getting around 26-27mpg. Or roughly 300 miles out of an 11 or 11.5 gallon fill-up. That real world enough for you?

In town lots of stopping & going I get 25-26. On the interstate a/c on rolling with cruise control set at 73 I get 32.7. My husband drove the car this week to Houston, a 6 hour drive no a/c, windows down on the interstate rolling at 85 he got 31.6. I have an 06 ss/sc.

I dont suppose theres any way to change the read out on the DIC?
My mileage reads Litres/100km, and its confusing. lol
Generally, Im using about 9L per 100km. My math is completely rusted over, so I couldnt tell yah what kind of MPG that works out to.
On a full tank of gas, I get about 425km. I expect that to improve a bit, as Im still in love with my car, and on the gas pretty often. lol

I don't trust the computer thingy so when I fill up next I will do it the old fashion way. Probably going to be filling up on Wednesday. Just guessing though from the amount of miles I have driven and the amount of fuel left in the tank I think I am getting 25ish and that's all in town so far.

It absolutely does have a low fuel indicator. When you reach about 1.5 gallons left, the Drivers Information Center switches to saying "Low Fuel Level" or some such thing as the default displayed message.

I looked and looked through the freakin manualll but I never found the info. Thank you Justinian. I appreciate the information.
Now if I can stop getting 9 miles to the gallon...
